Upon graduation, Pete enlisted in the US Army where he proudly served his country in Germany with the military police followed by two tours in Desert Storm, where he received a Purple Heart for his service. His military career spanned over 20 years of dedicated service until his retirement as a Staff Sargent in 1994. Over the next 20 plus years Pete continued his career in public service as a volunteer with the Radcliff fire department and a firefighter at the Fort Knox fire department, retiring in 2008.
He is survived by his loving wife of 14 years, Ann Duvernois, her son Ryan Calvert (Tiffany), step-daughters Stephanie Calvert and Jaime Barnes (James). Grandchildren Isaac, Sabrina, Dawne, Candyce, Mackenzie, Madelynn, Ryan Jr and great grandson Amari. A sister Bea Fannon (John) their daughters Christen Rogers (Clayton) and Sarah Curry (Seamus).

As well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews; and many friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Eva Duvernois and his former wife, Vivian Duvernois.
Throughout his life he was an avid fan of cars, with a passion for Drag Racing and RC racing. In 2012, Pete was the Super Pro Champion at Ohio Valley Drag Way and in 2009 he won King of the Track. In 2024, he won the MUDBOSS Champion Series in RC Racing. Pete was an avid bowler where he was active in several leagues, achieving the perfect 300 game three times.
Pete was the happiest when spending his time with the ones he loved most. He cherished his family and loved being a big kid with all of his grandkids. Papa "Pepaw" was a name that always brought a smile to his face.
Pete will be remembered for his kindness, fun loving, compassionate spirit, sense of humor and always making people laugh and smile. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that knew him but will remain forever in their hearts.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, July 18th at Epworth United Methodist Church, 919 Palatka Rd, Louisville, KY from 3-7pm with a eulogy at 7pm.

I know this is a terrible loss to all who loved Pete. I first met Pete when he started dating Ann. His love for her and the kids and grandkids was so obvious. He was a fun-loving prankster and a kid at heart. I was thrilled when Ann and Pete found each other. Two wonderful people who couldn't be more perfectly paired. I am sad Ann has lost the love of her life here on earth, but, like Brad Paisley's song, "Waiting on a Woman", I can picture Pete in heaven sitting on a bench, watching over his loved ones on earth, and waiting until the day Ann joins him....saying take your time because I don't mind, waiting on a woman.
